NV Illusion

The apartment is spacious, bright and with a panoramic view of the magnificent sunset. The air conditioning was good - and essential as we had hot weather all through our stay. The two pools, although only 400mm deep were perfect for lying down in and cooling off. Bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious and well stocked with toiletries and each bedroom came with a dressing area.

The key pickup didn't go smoothly - no answer from the host's phone. Ended up with our driver shouting to the cleaner from across the road. Made up for it on departure however when the host allowed an hours stay beyond checkout time in her garden. Whilst the property has a beautiful view it is a 50 minute walk from the centre - which you would do on the way in (downhill) but not the way back in 30 degree heat. Taxis ok from the ranks most of the time but they sometimes went missing. Traffic noise was difficult when sat outside. Much better inside due to good soundproofing. The last few days a group of young lads checked in below us. Accepting that they are young they are going to let off steam, we didnt particularly want to listen to them doing it.

Bel appartement très confortable avec suites parentales. Très belle vue. État impeccable - bonne literie

Route très passante - fenêtres mal insonorisées

Όλα ήταν τέλεια. Συγχαρητήρια.

Views over Chania, clean, good quality towels.

Not as advertised!!! POOLS- No hot tub/jaccuzi - rather 2 pools that are 40cm deep (below knee), cold and noisy at night with filter going. Only for show, not for practicality. Spa jets apparently service as a jacuzzi(hydro massage) but it better be warm otherwise you’d freeze. So misleading! SOUND PROOFING- Advertised as sound proof - definitely NOT! Road noise even with everything shut is horrendous. Asked owner about sound proofing and he said not advertised as sound proofing yet it is in the ad. HOT WATER-Was advised by owner to switch on the hot water if it is cloudy due to solar and wait 60 minutes - wasn’t advised to turn it on every morning to have a hot shower so we all had cold showers on 2 mornings as we needed to shower and leave early. FITNESS CENTRE- Advertised as featuring a fitness centre - this is a poor man’s garage gym in the basement which we had to find ourselves. LOCATION-Location directions on the property link showed it closer to town than where it is. I have advised owner of this with a screen shot of the map and he just disagreed with me. Taxi driver even had to type in property name rather than use address to find property. 45 minute walk to town (downhill on way there), 10 min drive or 20 min bus - we did all. POWER - Make sure you ask for an extra power card if you want washer and dryer to be working while you’re out. I recommend this as the dryer is noisy for closest bedroom if it is running at night. Could also be more luxury if it included a microwave.

Logement parfait, grand, beau avec un super accueil

Le bruit de la route
